The first automobile hillclimb competition up Palomar Mountain's Nate Harrison Grade from the gate off Pauma Road to Baileys was in 1912, with a time of 35 minutes. Successive hillclimb runs through 1923 lowered that time to 28 minutes and 39 seconds. After 1924, there are no further newspaper reports on hillclimb runs up Nate Harrison Grade.

This Palomar Mountain residential chronology compiles names from U.S. and California census records, San Diego County voter registers, and other sources like San Diego city/county directories. These are available via ancestry.com except where noted. It’s imprecise, since people could be living on Palomar before and/or after those years. These listings can be limited to head of household and/or voters, so children aren’t always listed. Palomar Mountain was known as Smith Mountain in earlier...

Nellie McQueen wrote to the U.S. Post Master General, asking for a post office on Palomar, offering herself as postmaster. She suggested the name "Fern Glen" for the...

Stereographs or stereo cards of Palomar Mountain. Stereographs aka stereo cards are two photographic prints mounted on card stock to be viewed through a stereoscope, producing a three dimensional view. Stereographs were a popular photographic medium, reaching a peak in the years 1902-1935. Stereoscopic pictures are almost identical, taken from slightly different angles.

Volume covering foraminiferans, amoeba, algae, and diatoms. This Field Guide aims to facilitate underwater/topside field identification from visual characters of organisms seen by scuba divers based on Ross Island, Antarctica. Most organisms were identified from photographs with no specimen collection, so these identifications are to the taxonomic level possible from photographs. 2021 (first edition published in 1998)

Charles Darby was a home builder living in La Jolla and wanted mountain property that had snowfalls to enjoy; he bought the upper 40 acres of Pedley Valley in 1951 or 1952 (that area was called Old Bull Pasture). Darby built four cabins and opened Darby's Palomar Mountain Resort. The Darbys continued living in La Jolla, and spent most weekends and holidays at their property, renting cabins to visitors; the property was purchased for their enjoyment and not intended as a business endeavor.

A ski resort on Palomar Mountain opened in the winter of 1966/1967, and closed the following 1967/1968 winter. In May 1966, a San Diego County special use permit was granted to Charles Darby for a ski resort on an eighty acre site owned by Carl ‘Wog’ Bergman, on the west side of the S6 road at the 5,200 foot level about a mile and a quarter north of the post office, and four miles from the Observatory. The temperatures were often too high for making snow, and snow falls were not numerous.

Land patents are deeds from the U.S. government conveying title, and recorded by the government. The U.S. Public Land Survey System divides land into 24-mile tracts that are subdivided into 16 townships that are 6 miles by 6 miles, or 36 square miles. Each township is divided into 36 one-square-mile sections. Each section is 640 acres, and then sections would be halved and quartered, etc. For example, a Robert Asher land patent dated January 16, 1911, specified Township 9 South, Range 1 East,...

The reference books and monographs following have been selected to aid teachers and beginning students of the history of oceanography. The list is based on two principles, either that the publications are readily available in major libraries, or that they have not been superseded as sources of information. The periodical literature is not included because of its extent. This is an updated version of a paper first published in Earth Science History 12 (1993), 2-4.

Norbert Wu and his team did its diving in the Antarctic spring season (largely October and November) before the Antarctic summer when plankton blooms reduce underwater visibility.

In the early 1980s, a group bicycle ride started in Venice, California, and proceeded south along the beach bikepath to and around the Palos Verdes Peninsula and back. At an overlook of the Long Beach harbor, with discussion led by Christopher Michael Hassett (1952-2003), B.I.K.E. free-associated its way into being. Definitions of the B.I.K.E. acronym vary, but B.I.K.E. is not well served in the expenditure of time on definition.

Several factors influence book binding: how much the publisher wishes to spend on binding; the publisher's judgment on the type of binding likely to appeal to a book's readership; the state of binding technology; and, the contemporary climate of design. The Victorian influence on design dramatically shaped bookbinding in the 1800s, going so far that quantity of ornament was intended to imply beauty, sometimes verging into aesthetic excess, with decorations irrelevant to book content.
